The councillor for Culture of the
Consell
has started a campaign to make Catalan more present in the restaurants
by distributing four types of paper tablecloths that have maps of the island
with all the toponyms in Catalan.
The Consell has had 95,000 of these tablecloths printed (there are four
different models), that can be obtained free from the Consell or the Formentera
Town Council. The cost of this initiative is 4,826 euros (just over 800,000
pesetas). It is included in the campaign to introduce Catalan into the
shops and restaurants where the posters open/shut and gentlemen/ladies
(for toilets) have been distributed free in Catalan.
